U4.00001: Latest Results from the AMS Experiment Invited Speaker: Paolo Zuccon The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Experiment (AMS) is a US-DOE sponsored particle physics experiment on the International Space Station. The AMS experiment has been installed on the International Space Station since May 19, 2011. Up to now 40 billion high energy cosmic ray events have been collected and analyzed. Some of the latest results will be presented. [Preview Abstract] |

U4.00002: DAP Young Star: What PeV neutrinos teach us about Cosmic Rays Invited Speaker: Nathan Whitehorn The origin of high-energy cosmic rays is one of the most persistent mysteries in physics. Neutrinos, as unambiguous tracers of hadronic acceleration, may offer a new and unique window into this problem and others in high-energy astrophysics. As neutral particles, they travel from their sources undeflected by magnetic fields, and as weakly interacting particles, they travel undisturbed out of dense environments. I will discuss recent results from the antarctic IceCube neutrino observatory, the first operating gigaton-scale neutrino detector, showing strong evidence for a population of extremely high energy neutrinos (100+ TeV) that cannot easily be explained by processes occurring in cosmic ray showers in the Earth's atmosphere, and the implications of neutrino astronomy for our understanding of cosmic rays.
